Mass Effect is my favorite sci-fi franchise, and I genuinely hope this fan-series helps ease the pain of waiting for ME5.

I'm gonna be honest... I haven't seen anything done with Mass Effect besides porn or musical fan edits. And let's not forget Gamerpoop... This is really good and a welcome surprise! Now all Mass Effect needs is a remarkable catalogue of fan-made content to rival the 40K fandom. There's some way to go...

@jonathansud 11 дней назад

@@jonathansud As for body motion, you could use the Xbox One Kinect camera and a green screen to record all the movements to make custom animations. There is a newer version of that camera but it's not cheap and kinda hard to find.

@porpus99 13 дней назад

This has options of going multiple directions. Given the timeline of Cerberus taking Omega, that puts this at 2186. Depending on when, the Reaper invasion is about to begin as both happened in the same year. Not really much about Elysium was mentioned during the events of ME3. Blank slate. The Quarians would also be recalling all their forces for the attack on the Geth. So, things are going to become very chaotic very quickly if this is within the time frame of the Reaper invasion.

@jonathansud 13 дней назад

indeed :)

@the_corvid97 9 дней назад

@@the_corvid97 No, I just realized where i went wrong. Was replaying ME3 and was doing the Leviathan DLC. Had just completed the Dr Garnom part and the Asari revealed they thought it was "2176". Was still fresh in my mind and I typed the wrong date.

This turian's moral compass is all over the place. He's working for a mercenary company that actively partook in human trafficking/slavery and he wants to include morals while doing shakedowns? This guy needs to reflect on his life choices before he dies in some pointless shootout.

@didncozosksma4466 3 дня назад

Reminds of the hawk world mini series by Timothy Truman. Katar works as a police officer in the underworld of thanagar, his moral objections are way more reserved and shameful. There’s a panel where Katar sees a statue of Kalmoran, a great hero of Thanagar, most don’t believe he even existed, but Katar remembers the history. Sometimes good folks get caught up in the wrong line of work, shouldn’t be that way, but life has a way of taking you for a ride.

@alaskamark4562 8 дней назад

Pretty much the only criticism I have is how uncanny the human animations look, the rest is pretty top-notch. Are you going to follow the events of the games more-or-less or branch off and fully do your own thing? Looking forward to part 2 either way!

10:55. I know this is the future in an alternate universe with aliens and space magic, and I know the exact rules can very depending on the business, but I'm pretty sure legally the Quarian should get her overtime pay even if she has to work those hours as punishment. Also awesome work. Only critique is that the human faces are really uncanny valley.

Is this supposed the alternate ending in the first game when the original council dies and humanity takes control of the citadel? I am asking because of the comment the turian made about humans being charge

@jonathansud 13 дней назад

Nah, so Elysium is a human-founded colony outside of Council Space jurisdiction. That’s why they’re in charge-they got their own planetary government. Non-human species often do business there as the local mass relay is a hotspot in terms of getting around to different pockets of space quickly. As far as time goes, this takes place a month or so prior to Reapers’ arrival.

@jonathansud 9 дней назад

Good eye! That’ll probably be the biggest gamble I’ll take with bending lore. My best justification for supporting that choice is precisely that-the consideration that they spend the majority of their formative/adult years in suits, which I’d expect might distort some of those earlier toddler/kiddo memories. Kinda like when Shep is in the consensus.
